Retelling an event from a text


Name of text: Giant soup
Author: Margaret Mahy


L.I = I am learning to retell what I have read

The giants mother is gone out on a holiday and the giant doesn't know how to cook. He adds water, onions, carrots and meat in a pot he tries it and he says “ its no good it needs a boy”.  So he puts on his’ sneakers.He caught a boy reading a cook book the boy’s name was. He plopped him down in a the pot. Jason tasted the giants soup soup then he said  “your water is too cold” so the giant turned up the heat on the stove. Then Jason tried it again “its no good you need salt” so the giant adds some salt. Jason drinks some more “ you need pepper” said the boy.So the giant added pepper Jason drank more of the soup “STOP” cried the giant.He picked up jason out of the pot.Jason said”I’ll be happy to help you next time” but then the giant said  “no you eat too much”.
